Abstract

Excess electric power generated by a domestic alternative power generation system 101 (such as a solar panel or wind turbine) connected to a domestic electricity wiring network 104 is consumed within a device 110 whose power consumption may be varied using a control signal. The wiring network 104 is also connected to a external mains electric power supply system 108. The net power flowing between the domestic wiring network 104 and the external mains electric power supply system 108 is measured together with its direction of flow. A control signal is created to adjust the power consumed by the power-consuming device 110 in such a fashion that (a) the net power flowing from the domestic wiring network 104 to the external mains electric power supply system 108 is kept near or below a threshold value; (b) it varies in response to changes in the power generated by the domestic alternative power generation system 101, or to changes in the power consumed by the domestic wiring network 104; and (c) it is adjusted to reduce to zero the power consumed by the power-consuming device 110 whenever the direction of net power flow is from the external mains electric power supply system 108 to the domestic wiring network 104, or the net power flowing from the wiring network 104 to the external mains electric power supply system 108 is below the threshold. The power-consuming device 110 may be an electric immersion heater.
